Real Madrid is reportedly refuse to make a move for Kylian Mbappe this summer, because they feel the Paris Saint-Germain forward is “a prisoner of money”, Marca reports.
It is understood that Mbappe will demand £206m if he is to join any club before next season.
There is uncertainty over the Frenchman’s future, as he has confirmed he will not sign a contract extension on his current deal which runs out in June 2024.
With PSG looking to sell rather than allow Mbappe leave as a free agent next year, the player has been heavily linked with Real Madrid.

But his reported £893,000-per-week wages are seen as a potential challenge for any suitor.
Madrid will reportedly tell his agent-mother, Fayza Lamari, that Mbappe will have to take a pay cut if he does eventually move to the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos’ plan remains to approach him as a free agent next summer.
